Secretary of the Treasury Shaw issued the follow ing statement to-day: "A wholly unauthorized and un founded report appears to have been sent from Washington yesterday, calculated to mislead, with reference to the action taken by the secretary of the treasury relative to the main tenance of reserves against govern ment deposits secured by govern ment bonus. That there may be no misunderstanding, either as to the law or the action taken by the de partment, you are advised: "The national banking act, as you are well aware, lays down the rule that all associations shall maintain certain reserves against all deposits; failing to do which the comptroller of the currency may notify any as sociation to make good such reserves; failing to do which within thirty days the comptroller may, with the cnocurrence of the secretary of the treasury, appoint a receiver, etc. "The law therefore lays down the rule that the reserve shall be main tained, but lodges a discretion with the comptroller, and with the secre tary of the treasury as to the enforce ment of the rule. You are therefore notified that the rule will not be en forced as it relates to government deposits secured by government bonds. "It must be borne in mind in this connection that it is not the inten tion of the department to encourage increased credit. On the contrary, very great conservatism should be exercised. But it is the desire of the department that no worthy busi ness interest shall suffer simply be cause a bank has invested its money in government bonds to secure a government deposit, and to that ex tent has relieved the treasury from a growing surplus and has thus re stricted its capacity to extend ac commodation. ' ' MONEY IX CIRCULATION. Washington, Oct. 2. The general stock of money in thd United States October 1 was estimated by the treas ury department at $2,597,094,935, of which $2,275,686,651 was in circula tion, being an increase of the latter amounting to $10,653,706 for - the month of September and of $48,488, 160 for the twelve months ended Oc tober 1. Based on an estimated pop ulation of 77,458,000 the per capita circulation is therefore $28. 64,against $28.55 September 1. THE MINERS' STRIKE. The result of the White House conference in Washington on the coal strike brings disappointment to all America. The anthracite coal strike remains unsettled and the coal amine must continue for a time longer. The owners of the anthracite mines decline emphatically to deal with President Mitchell ot the United Mine Workers of America. At the same time they offer to deal with any of their employes, or any repre sentatives of any one of the mining camps, who might submit their grievances to the judge of the United States district court of that district, and they would abide the decision of the judge. The operators were emphatic in their declaration against dealing with one not directly interested. Yet they offered to deal with one or all of the men who actually work in the mines or to submit the matter to the federal judge of the district in volved a representative in a sense of the President of the United States, who called the co lference. To the outsider of calm and con servative judgment this would seem fair. The owners or operators of the anthracite coal mines are losing thousands of dollars daily by the prolongation of the strike. Yet they lee! that a question of manhood and home rule is involved that they have the right to operate their own property without outside interfer ence and to arbitrate with their own employes-' any differences which might arise as to hours or wages. TV are now apparently not con tending over hours or wages, but are opposed to outside interference, or instruction as to how they shall con duct their mines. Their proposition to refer the mat ter in dispute, if any of their em ployes will bring the matter up to the highest United States official in the district would seem fair. Under the circumstances President Mitchell should withdraw his personality and stand aside. There are doubtless in telligent and shrewd men among the miners of the anthracite district. These men would present the min ers' side of the case, and the matter could be adjusted. The operators want the mines worked, and the miners want work and wages.There fore, it devolves upon Mr. Mitchell to eliminate himself and let each organization of local miners present its grievances to arbitration before the nearest United States district judge and have the matter of hours and wages settled, and go back to work. G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT. Washington, Oct. 5. The thirty sixth annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic will begin here to-morrow, and, with the meeting of the various auxiliary or ganizations affiliated with the main body, will continue until next Sun day. Preparations for the gathering are complete The business houses and private residences along Penn sylvania avenue and the other mam thoroughfares of the city have been appropriately decorated for the en campment season. The display of flags and bunting is very generous. Tuesday the naval parade will oc cur. Wednesday will occur the big parade of the Grand Army of the Republic. " - $150 Reward. The Board of County Commission ers of Wayne county, in regular ses sion, directed their clerk to advertise that the Board will pay a reward of one hundred and fifty dollars for the arrest and delivery of Frank Winn, indicted for the murder' of Charles Winn, to the sheriff of .Wayne county. By order of the Board. Geo. C Kornegay, Clerk, etc. Oct. 6, 1902. BUGGY FOR SALE You can buy a good, top buggy, used short while only, in excellent condition, by applying to Humphrey-Gibson Co. INSECTS SCATTER DISEASES. The latest bulletin of the Marine Hospital Service boldly declares that the history of twenty years in New York does not disclose a single case of yellow fever that arose from the shipment of wearing apparel, bedding and the like to that town from Vera Cruz, Havana, Santiago de Cuba and other fever-infected cities. Enormous quantities of such freight or baggage are landed every year in New York at all seasons, and yet no cases of yellow fever arise from it. Troops by tens of thous ands came both to this country and Spain, but no yellow fever cases re sulted. The medical scientists assert, in other words, that all such diseases as yellow fever are conveyed simply and solely by mosquitoes, flies and other insects. The esteemed mos quito inserts the germs directly in the veins, -while the flies and like in sects carry them on their feet and plant them in the food of their vic tims. The flies do this unconscious ly, and so for that matter do the mo squitoes, but, the work of each is equally deadly. The common house fly is beyond all doubt a dissemina tor of typhoid germs, and the care less nurse is the fly's working part ner in this business. There will be plenty of typhoid until every stool of a typhoid patient i3 speedily placed beyond the range of the house fly. Another year should witness marked advances in the prevention of contagious disease. The period of investigation is fairly passed. The old theories that contact of one sort or another creates such diseases are well-nigh exploded, and thus the transmission of such diseases by in sects is equally well- established. War upon insect life is now in or der together with a war against that carelesuess which gives insects op portunity to accumulate deadly dis ease germs. WILL NOT BEVIEW G. A. R. PARADE. Washington, Oct. 5. President Roosevelt will not review the parade of the Grand Army of the Republic, at which it was expected he would occupy the reviewing stand in front of the White House. The official statement issued last night that he would have to exercise extreme care indicated that it would be impossible for him to review the parade of the veterans and the direct statement that he will not do so was made on official authority today.The President has not yet been able to rest his foot on the floor and the phy sicians have forbidden him to again overtax his strength, as he did dur ing the past week. TOBACCO SALES. The Official Report For the Past T vo Months. The following is the official report of the Board of Trade on the sales and prices of tobacco sold on this market for the month of August and September as figured out by Mr. W. H. Winstead, Board: Pounds Aug. 1,166,555 Sept. 1,614,056 President of the Value Av'rage $115,509.55 $9.90 $177,860.55 11.01 Total 2,780,611 $283,370.11 $10.55 The Royal Montli and the Royal . Disease. Sudden changes of weather are especially tryinar, and probably to none more so than to the serofu'ous and consumptive. The progre- h of scrofula during a normal October is commonly great. We never think of scrofula its bunches, cutaneous eruptions, and wasting of the bodily snbstance without thinking of the great good many sufferers from it havft derived frcm Hood'3 Sarsa panlla, whose radical and perma nent cures of this one disease are enough to make it the most famous medicine in ths world. There is probably rot a city or town where Hood's Sarsaparilla has not proved its merit in more homes than one, in arresting and completely eradi cating ecrof ula, which is almost as serious and a3 much to be feared as its near relative. consumption. shop:s at home and ABROAD. Senator Harris, of Kansas, has just returned from Europe, and he has stirred up the sacred tariff ani mals again by declaring that he bought American shoes of identical make in Loudon 20 per cent below home prices. We are selling shoes to the value of $5,500,000 a year to England, Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, and Belgium. We sell shoes in all the shoe making countries in their own markets, and the in ference is plain that we can under sell the manufacturers in those coun tries although freight and insurance and other selling charges aro added. And yet there is a duty of 25 per cent on foreign made shoes. Does any one believe that foreign made shoes would be imported if there were no duties on shoes? The duty is not kept in the tariff to keep out shoes, but to enable the shoe manu facturer to advance the home price to the tariff limit. This is fiie long and short of it, and it is but one ex ample gathered from 4,000 that the tariff embraces. The Republicans are very angry at Senator Harris because he has come home to expose the shoe trade of the country. When American shoes are sold at 20 per cent less in London than they are at home, this means that the American price of shoes has been fully advanced to the tariff limit. This is what the tariff is for. This is what it is maintained for to the point of sacredness. This is what Senator Mark Hanna stands pat on. This is what produces cam paign subscriptions, the home con sumer paying the whole thing in the last analysis. EMERGENCY HOSPITAL. To Have a New Building Splendid ly Equipped. There is now no doubt but what Goldsborowill have a hospital which will meet every requirement. At a meeting of the supporters and direc tors of the Emergency Hospital held some time ago it was decided to erect a building for the hospital and Mr. C. F. Herring, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, who by virtue of his office is ex-officio chairman of the directors of the hos pital, was directed to appoint a com mittee to take the whole subject un der consideration. Mr. Herring has made the appointment, as will be seen from the following card, which he requests published: Editor Argus: At the last an nual meeting of the directors of the Emergency Hospital, a motion was adopted directing the undersigned to appoint a committee to take into consideration the whole interest of the Hospital with the view of secur ing a suitable building and of pro viding for its equipment and sup port etc. In compliance with said motion I have appointed Messrs. Sol. Weil, J. E. Peterson, Geo C. Royall and Dr. Theo. L. Ginn. C. F. HERRING, Ex-officio ch'mn. WOMEN AND JEWELS. Jewels, candy, flowers, man that is the order of a woman's prefer ences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average wo man. Even that greatest of all jew els, health, is often ruined in the strenuous efforts to make or save the money to purchase them. If a woman will risk her fcetdth to get a coveted gem, thfn Itit her fortify herself against the insiduous conse quences of coughs, colds and bron chial affections by the regular use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup It will promptly arrest- consumption in its early stages and heal the affected lung3 and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system. It is not a cure-all, but it is a certain cure for coughs, colds and all bron chial troubles. You can get this re liable remedy at Goldsboro Drug Co.
